Enjoy Fresh, Never Frozen Seafood – Shipped Overnight! LEARN MORE
Exotic, perhaps. Unique, for sure. However you describe it, you’ll find the rich and succulent flavor of eel to be mildly sweet with a hint of earthiness that’s a treat to savor. As for texture, that depends on how you cook it. Deep frying makes the meat crisp and crunchy. Poaching and stewing yield a softer texture. When broiled or grilled, it’s tender but provides a satisfying chew – somewhat like octopus. Excellent pairings include roasted vegetables and mushrooms, their depth of flavor enhancing the savory notes of the fish. Eel is a must-try for those seeking new culinary experiences, and you’ll enjoy an amazingly delicious dish to boot!
Season the Eel with olive oil and sea salt and roast until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy.
Portion Size
Our Eel is typically 2 pounds each. We recommend 8 ounces raw weight per person when serving various seafood items. The size of this order is 2 lbs, which serves approx. 4 people.
"A dry Chenin Blanc, like Savennieres, is a wonderful companion to eel."
